[Verse]

Another baby born, another stolen life

To claim the day as yours, to see through open eyes

He say he know the truth, I know who told him lies

The tree with deepest roots, when lightning struck it died

How can I be of use? My limit is the totem size

In the event of your demise we cried

And kept it pushing, its peaks and valleys

The totality I'm overlooking

That nigga did his dirt in secret, I'll let karma whoop him

Where it took him ain't no secret

It's an art to being decent, nothing partial when it's even

Oddly ought to find a reason say

The odyssey is sleepless, safe

Too many are in need of sage

It's hard it ain't no easy way to god, who doesn't need a face

I remember bleeding, I

I remember seeing things, I'm forever singing praises

Journeyed through too many facets

Many phases, done worn too many faces

Too many masks, too many men with lack of demonstration

Let the past inform the present, like the future ancient

Was led astray, he disobeyed then put in place a sanction

Full of joy and full of rage and simultaneously thankless

He never knew his feelings spoke a language

I saw ninety like a angle

Alternating universe, at five l saw an angel

Playing bata for Orisha at the toque with the Kangol

That's how I see my father through the lens I choose to paint through

Water at my ankles and grief at my Achilles

Nowadays I choose to thank you

'Cause voids need filling

Healing and hurting, on the surface are the same thing

Blame is for a person, and learning is the great deed, take heed

[Outro: Martín Prechtel]

I remember you

Remembering us, remembering you

I remember it every time we eat

I remember, you, spirits, all of the spirits that give us life

Remembering us

I remember all these spirits, remembering us, remembering you

It's a loop

And you make a song out of [scats]

The back and forth dialogue

You give a gift to them

They're givin' a gift to you

Givin' a gift to you

Givin' a give to them

Givin' a gift to you

Givin' a gift to them

[?]

So you're not alone
